The present contribution tests whether countries can be pooled when studying the financegrowth nexus. Overall, our results point toward a ‘pragmatic’ positive answer, though considerable heterogeneity is present among developing countries.

In this paper we adopt both a nonparametric and a semi-parametric IV estimator to show that the relationship between inflation and output growth is non-linear and that there exists a threshold level below which inflation has no effects on growth.

Money long-run super-neutrality and the vertical long-run Phillips curve are two widely shared beliefs in the economics profession and among economic policy-makers. The present survey is devoted to anomalous empirical evidence which challenges this view. We consider a variety of studies,...

The paper develops a model of proportionate growth to describe the dynamics of the network of international trade flows. We show that a large number of the empirical regularities characterizing international trade - such as the fraction of zero trade flows across pairs of countries, the positive...

This paper studies how the distributions of the most important network statistics measuring connectivity, assortativity, clustering and centrality in the international-trade network have co-evolved over time. We show that all node statistic distributions and their correlation structure have...

The authors analyse patterns of international trade and financial integration using complex network analysis. The combination of both binary and weighted approaches delivers more precise and thorough insights into the topological structure and properties of international trade and financial...
